tab order (Excel 2003)

I have a spreadsheet that is essentially a calendar- Jan to June on the left and July to December on the right. I have protected it so that I can only tab to the cells that I want. I have one minor problem. Normally I tab from B1 to H1 (Monday to Sunday). I want to tab from H1 to B2 not to K1 which is in July. How do I change the end of week tab order? I have been unsuccessful in looking this up.

I think what you are telling me is that there is not the simple solution that I had hoped for. Right now your solution is beyond my knowledge to implement. This is not earth shattering. I will live with things as they are now.

Thank you for your effort. I hope that in a relatively short time my knowledge will catch up with your solution.

Legare's solution is surprisingly simple to implement; right click the worksheet tab, select View Code, and paste the code in there, then save the workbook. Give it a try!

Is it correct that your layout is Sun - Sat for the Jan - June in Columns B:H and then Sun - Sat for July - Dec is in Columns J:P? A similar solution to Legares' would be to protect all cells except in those columns, protect the sheet, and then use code like this, entered the same way:
